Chocolate Lovers Cake with Banana Ice Cream and Chocolate Hard Shell

Do you love Chocolate? If yes, then this vegan Chocolate Lovers Cake with Banana Ice Cream and Chocolate Hard Shell is perfect for you! It is… to die for.

Everyone deserves an awesome chocolate explosion every once in a while. Should you feel sad, this will make it better. Should you feel awesome already, you’ll feel even more awesome afterwards! This decadent Chocolate Lovers Cake with Banana Ice Cream and Chocolate Hard Shell looks not only decadent, it’s heaven – actually chocolate heaven. The chocolate cake is fluffy and soft – like it should be, the banana ice cream – the perfect addition to the cake and chocolate hard shell – well it’s really hard to describe how heavenly this cake is! You have to try it yourself.

I’ve used my smallest springform pan for this cake – it’s 5.5 inches, 14cm. This recipe is perfect for 3-4 people, but my boyfriend and I were able to finish the cake alone – with no problems at all! It’s so fluffy and deliciously chocolate-y.

What I love about the chocolate cake is that it’s a one-bowl-cake. Simply whisk all the dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and add in the wet ingredients and whisk again! Simple as that. I don’t have a dishwasher, so I try not to make a huge mess in my kitchen.

For the Chocolate Hard Shell I’ve used Vivani‘s 70% vegan couverture and I loved it! I’ve melted it in a double boiler and slowly drizzled it over the ice cream. It took only a few seconds to harden and created a nice hard shell.

It’s like a chocolate cake sundae! Just from looking at the outside of this beautiful creation, the texture looks amazingly fluffy! Yes, I think 2 people and 2 spoons would be the perfect way to enjoy this :)

hahaa :D I didn’t notice!! I changed to a new recipe plugin and it said “yields” in the backend and now it says “serves” in the frontend! Oh no! :D Hahaha. I’ve changed it to 2-4 servings! That’s more like it. But honestly…if my boyfriend wouldn’t have been there… I would have eaten the whole thing by myself!

Did you know that “chocolate” is actually my middle name? Well, at least it should be. “Serves 2-4” seems greatly exaggerated though. “Serves 1” or – if that one person is generous and VERY nice – “Leaves a few spoonfuls for a second person” would be more apt. What do you think?

Chocolate would be an awesome name! I want that to be my first name – no, wait – better not. That would be a very weird name and everybody would be thinking I was a stripper or something else. LOL.
I only wrote the 2-4 serving to not seem like the biggest “Vielfraß” (glutton?)! Haha, although I am. I’m eating constantly and thinking about food non-stop. It’s the best! Every few days my boyfriend is asking me to make that cake again! It’s crazy! He loves that chocolate-banana-chocolate combination (and me too!)
